Equivalent Ratios WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet focuses on the concept of equivalent ratios.
Section A introduces equivalent ratios using a stacked number line. Students must fill in the missing numbers on the number lines to create equivalent ratios, write down equivalent ratios from the number lines, and generate new ones not shown in the diagrams.
In Section B, the focus shifts to using ratio tables to find equivalent ratios. An example is provided showing how to multiply both parts of a ratio by the same number to find an equivalent pair; reinforcing the principle of multiplying or dividing both sides of a ratio by the same factor.
Section C requires students to identify and group sets of equivalent ratios from a list. This section challenges students to simplify or compare a variety of ratios.
The final section applies the concept of equivalent ratios to word problems.
